That 4.6 40 by Iowa's Marshall Koehn is the fastest time by a kicker in at least a decade.

It isn’t entirely surprising that Koehn would have a fast 40-time. as he has a long and lean build at six feet tall and 200 pounds flat. He also has a cannon for a leg, having drilled a 57-yard field goal against Pittsburgh earlier this season. To get that kind of power and momentum behind a kick, one has to have pretty solid speed.
Koehn was also a four-year letterman in soccer in high school and was a two-year letterman in wrestling. Thus, not only is he fast, but his footwork must be great as well.
